The word Phytobiotechnology was first coined by Prof Yongabi in 2008 and published as an invited scholarly chapter in the UNESCO encyclopedia of Life Support Systems. This culminated in to the founding of the Phytobiotechnology Research Foundation and Laboratories in Cameroon by Professor Yongabi and registered with the Government of Cameroon and the European Union.

Phytobiotechnology is a marriage of two words, Phyto derived from a Greek vernacular Phyton meaning Herb or vegetable, then biotechnology which is the application of science or knowledge to life systems to derive useful products. Unfortunately, a lot of focus on the definition of biotechnology has been skewed toward the use of microorganisms and molecular biology which is not the case, certainly.

Therefore, Phytobiotechnology is the application of Science or Knowledge to the plant Kingdom(this includes higher and lower plants like macrofungi like Mushrooms, algae, lichens, that can be seen with the unaided eye) to derive products for the benefit of humanity. Phytobiotechnology will includes plants and plant based technology for nutrition and control of diseases (nutritherapy) and Phytotherapy, plant and plant based technologies to produce fertilizers, sequester carbon and clean the environment.

The present form in plant materials is used to clean soil and water is not Phytobiotechnology. But if a product is made of the plant without any gentic or artificial modification, it then qualifies as Phytobiotechnology (Yongabi, 2008). Phytobiotechnology would require that an existing traditional knowledge on the uses of a medicinal plant is validated using scientific protocols and then formulated into a product using basic pharmaceutical knowledge in its natural form and some form of Standardization(basic analysis of phytochemical constituents) , quality control employed. Phytobiotechnology either is not just about natural product research which is a patent based approach of isolating single compounds and attempting to purify them on large scale. Phytobiotechnology is an ecological approach to drug development from mother earth without artificial interference.

For over 80 years, We have been the trusted name in heating, air conditioning and plumbing businesses. Throughout the years, our number one goal has been to accurately .For over 80 years, We have been the trusted name in heating.

The Phytobiotechnology Research Foundation has developed a number of phytobased products in the last 17 years as the field is emerging. These products include phytobased healthcare products and phytobased products for waste management and bioconservation. These products are now being used to mitigate climate change and build resilience and adaptation.
